Earlier this week, the FDA accepted Immunome’s new drug application (NDA) for varegacestat, an investigational, oral, once-daily gamma secretase inhibitor, for the treatment of adults with desmoid tumors.

With the FDA accepting the NDA for review, a decision from the regulatory agency is expected on April 28, 2027.

In April 2026, Immunome filed the NDA for varegacestat to treat adults with desmoid tumors. The company plans to submit a marketing authorization application to the European Medicines Agency for varegacestat by the end of 2026.

Desmoid tumors are aggressive, non-metastatic soft tissue tumors. Although they do not metastasize, desmoid tumors are associated with a significantly high recurrence rate following surgical resection.

More on IMNM’s Varegacestat & Other Pipeline Updates

The NDA for varegacestat was based on data from the phase III RINGSIDE study, which evaluated the candidate in patients with progressing desmoid tumors.

The registrational study met its primary endpoint of improving progression-free survival compared with placebo, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 84% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death. The study also met all key secondary endpoints.

A potential approval of varegacestat would give Immunome its first marketed product and establish a commercial revenue stream. This would mark a significant milestone for the company and could serve as a key catalyst for the stock.

Besides varegacestat, Immunome is developing IM-1021 in an early-stage study for treating participants with B-cell lymphoma. The company’s early-stage pipeline also includes IM-3050 and IM-1617, which are being developed to treat certain types of solid tumors.

Last month, the company dosed the first patient in a phase I study evaluating IM-1617, a potential first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

Immunome’s recent development with varegacestat, as well as its expanding pipeline, including IM-1021 and several ADC programs, indicates long-term growth potential.
